A reminder to all of the human capacity for hatred and suffering, survival and redemption. Welcome to Light One Candle. In today's programme, we'll be finding out more about the Jewish Historical Society, who they are and what they're about, and how you can involve yourself in their discovery of our heritage. The golden gateway towards the. Towards the enrichment of our present and our future. Today we will also get a chance to look at an interview from the gallery's audiovisual archive that documents the story of one of our pioneer families. And finally, we'll have an opportunity to meet with Doctor David Gradwell, a founding member of the Iowa Jewish Historical Society, whose research has led him to include the study of the history of the Jews of Iowa. Our first guests are Pam Buki and Janice Rosenberg. Pamela Bass Buki was raised in Chicago and has made Des Moines her home for the past 20 years. She was the chair of the Collection and display Committee for the Federation's 75th anniversary, and is currently the president of the Iowa Jewish Historical society. She is also the owner of Book Fine Arts Consulting, an art collection and display for business and private dwellings.
